"That's some Tom Haverford nonsense right there."

The man behind the card is DeMonté Lane, a 28-year-old who raps under the name Fantastical Carpé. He told BuzzFeed News he also produces his own beats, and performs at venues around the Oakland area.

The main reason he had the cards made, Lane said, was to promote his music.

"I ultimately want to quit my '9-5,' make music and pursue creative endeavors all the while being able to support myself," he said.

However, Lane has also been using the cards to shoot his shot with the ladies, rather than asking for their number.

Out of the dozens of cards he has passed out, he said, a handful of women have contacted him.

"I don't ever really expect anything from it, but you never know," he said. "Sometimes you don't have a lot of time for small talk but you have just enough time to say, 'Hey, I'm Carpé. I'm really diggin' you, but I'm late for work. What was your name? Here is my card. Hit me if you're interested.'"

Once he realized his card was going viral, Lane decided to try one more time with Marissa. "Although I wasn't interested, I can appreciate a truly revolutionary business card," she said in response to his efforts.

Lane said his social media have been blowing up since the tweet went viral, and he has gained thousands of Instagram followers.

Since Marissa didn't blur out his number on her tweet, he said he has even been getting phone calls.

"I'm doing my best to answer every call whether they hang up in my face or chat for a minute," he said. "I'm answering every DM personally with links to my music. Every reply is a potential fan or few."
